About Us
Philosophy
Osaka Seikei University’s educational philosophy derives from a Chinese proverb recorded by Sima Qian in the ancient Records of the Grand Historian. The proverb states, “Peaches and plums don’t speak, but people gather beneath them, drawn by their flowers and fruits. In time, a path to the trees emerges.” Interpreting this allegory, we say that someone with integrity will draw others who admire their virtue.
Our name, Seikei, literally means “The path emerges.” Our educational goals based on this philosophy are to assist students to become globally competent human resources.
